Dearest Artist,
This month, we’re reveling in the ornate, the whimsical, the unapologetically expressive. In celebration of Rococo Revival, we’re spotlighting artists whose work flirts with flourishes, dances with drama, and indulges in the beauty of excess — all in the best ways.
Inspired by the elegance and extravagance of the Rococo era, these modern creators channel the past not with imitation, but with reinterpretation. Their work reminds us that art can be both bold and soft, elaborate and intimate, serious and full of delight.
May their brushstrokes, palettes, and panache remind you that beauty doesn’t need to whisper — sometimes, it deserves to sing.
Keep creating with flair,
Jenn Hart
